Game description

Prepare yourself for a daring new adventure and unleash masterful battle strategies in Bravely Second: End Layer, only on Nintendo 3DS family systems. Building on the critically acclaimed Bravely Default, the sequel offers both newcomers and returning fans a vast role-playing adventure, filled with deeply tactical combat, unforgettable characters and much more.

When the evil Kaiser Oblivion abducts Agnès Oblige, the heroine of Bravely Default, and her bodyguard Yew Geneolgia pledges to rescue her from the kaiser’s Skyhold, an impregnable fortress floating high over Eternia. Along the way, Yew will need to team up with Magnolia Arch and other new faces, plus a few returning heroes like Edea Lee and Tiz Arrior, to survive foreboding dungeons and conquer fearsome enemies.

Bravely Default’s innovative Brave and Default tactical battle system returns with even deeper layers of strategy. As before, you must balance risk and reward in turn-based battles: characters can make multiple moves in one turn, but this leaves them unable to move in subsequent turns. One new feature in Bravely Second: End Layer lets you put your skill and your nerve to the ultimate test: after winning a battle in a single turn, brave warriors can immediately start another, more difficult encounter for the chance to earn increasing rewards. Chaining these battles together is a swift way to level up characters and jobs, but defeat means losing everything earned during those battles, so discretion should always be the better part of valour.

To conquer these tougher battles and devastatingly powerful enemies, you will need to make good use of the 30 character classes, known as jobs, to equip your characters with the skills necessary to survive. As characters gain job experience by battling, they learn new skills and abilities, giving players totally new tactical possibilities. For example, the new Patissier enfeebles foes with delicious desserts, while the Catmancer uses a deep understanding of felines to increase the team’s abilities and find useful items.

With a vast world to explore, a deep tactical battle system to master and much more, embark on a unique RPG adventure with Bravely Second: End Layer, only on Nintendo 3DS family systems.

Reviews for Bravely Second: End Layer

The only thing that could be considered bad in Bravely Default was slow beginning and repetitive boss fights. Other than that, it was excellent game and I strongly recommend it, especially since Bravely Second is direct sequel to it. If you skip to this one, first game will be ruined for you, since it treats you like you played the first game, summarising whole plot with major spoilers.
Other than that, it's like first game, only much improved. Boss fights are better, graphics and soundtrack are top-notch like in previous games, and so is the gameplay, but it's also slightly improved,for example now you have jobs (which were nowhere to be found in previous game for some reason). For those who don't know, jobs are like classes in RPGs, you pick one and you get stats and skill assigned to this class.
If you liked the first game, this one is absolute must. If you didn't play the first one and are considering this one, don't, it will destroy any enjoyment you could have from the first game.
